Microstructures controlled

The Standard covers bar, plates, sheets, strip, structural shapes rolled stock, pipes, sheets with laminar coating and strip of carbon, alloyed and electrical steels and sets up nondestructive magnetic method of mechanical and service properties and microstructure control. 

Shock-recovery experiments by Gray [10] were conducted to assess directly if the strain-path reversal inherent to the shock contains a traditional microstructurally controlled Bauschinger effect for a shock-loaded two-phase material. Two samples of a polycrystalline Al-4 wt.% Cu alloy were shock loaded to 5.0 GPa and soft recovered in the same shock assembly to assure identical shock-loading conditions. The samples had two microstructural... 

Piezoelectric materials have a variety of commercial applications, and a large number of such materials are known. To examine such materials in thin-film form, highly textured crystalline thin films are likely to be needed, so microstructure control is therefore an issue. Screening approaches should be straightforward.

Ceramic oxide fibres, both continuous and discontinuous, have been commercially available since the 1970s, and processing and microstructure control are very important in obtaining the desired properties. Among the desirable characteristics in any ceramic fibre for structural applications are ...

In nanocomposites, exchange coupling occurs between hard and soft magnetic nanograins. The hard phase provides coercivity and the soft phase contributes to magnetisation enhancement (see section 4.3). The grain size of both phases must be of the order of the hard phase domain wall thickness. The crystallisation behaviour plays an important role in the microstructural control of the magnetic properties.
